GUN FIGHTER 13 STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY – ORPHAN CASK

This new Golden Moon expression aged for more than 13 years in new American white oak barrels. Gun Fighter 13 is 100 proof. Golden Moon Distillery Master Distiller Stephen Gould says he is on track to launch Gun Fighter 13’s sister expression, Gun Fighter 15 Tennessee Bourbon – Orphan Cask, this December.

• Gun Fighter 13 is 100 proof with a dark brown amber color sporting magnificent legs which present themselves immediately and are long and relentless in my glass. The juice has an aggressive nose, with heavy oak overtones and light notes of sweet buttered corn and vanilla which screams Tennessee Whiskey profile. The flavor is mostly a mid-palette with burnt baking sugar, buttery smooth vanilla, and caramel flavor on the tongue with a warm mouth feel. The finish comes is bold and dry with a peppery spice and, lots of oak overtones hanging around.
